What Students & Instructors Say?

What do you do, when you feel you take good pictures, but you are not sure? What do you do, when you feel there has to be a different purpose for you images other than posting them on the internet? What do you do, when you feel your creativity does not have an outlet? The answer is simple: join Bob Killen’s Fine Art Photography Intensive.

Gizella Nyquist, Fine Art Student

The Fine Art Intensive is much more than the name implies. It became a profound and deeply satisfying project that forced this student to think deeply, search hard for the right images, and execute flawlessly. Putting together a series of images fitting a chosen theme was challenging, but with the help of more than teaching—real coaching—from Bob Killen, I learned much more than a normal 'classroom' experience would allow.

Ding Kalis, Fine Art Student

If you were to line up the photos I've taken over the last 20 years on sequential order, you could see a very specific photo from which everything that follows shows marked improvement, a fresh style, and identity that no previous photo possesses. That's the first photo I took after learning from David LaNeve and his team at the Center. If you're considering a photo school in Orange County, I highly encourage you to try this one.

David Reeve, Digital Arts Student

Having taken a few classes at the California Center for Digital Arts, I have to say I am more than impressed! (I guess that is the reason I have taken multiple classes.) David La Neve and the other instructors have a passion for photography that is infectious.

Susan MacFarlane, Portrait Student

I would like to tell you how much I am enjoying your workshops. The lessons I have learned have greatly improved my photography skills and my confidence level. You have renewed my passion for photography!

Ken Cook, Photo Student

I highly recommend this series to anyone looking to extend their Fine Art career or start a part time hobby. You won't regret it!
